Kevin Millwood has announced his retirement from baseball.

Millwood, 38, wanted to catch on with the Braves or Rays, teams that are close to his Gainesville, Georgia home, but after that didn't happen he's decided to hang it up. "I feel like I can still throw it well and going out on a high note is a big deal," Millwood said. "I just felt it was time to be closer to home and to be around the kids more often." Millwood retires with 169 wins, a 4.11 ERA, one All-Star game appearance and one ERA title after 16 seasons. Sun, Feb 3, 2013 09:09:00 AM

Millwood had a 4.25 ERA and 107/56 K/BB ratio in 161 innings over 28 starts this season prior to going down with a sore shoulder earlier this month. The 37-year-old right-hander just isn't sure if he wants to put his body through another season. "I knew I wanted to play this year," said Millwood. "But like I said, now I'm just trying to figure out physically if I can do it. I still definitely believe I can get people out, but whether it's time to stay home and spend more time with my kids or try it again, I don't know the answer to that yet." Millwood has 169 wins and a 4.11 ERA over 16 major league seasons. Fri, Sep 28, 2012 10:45:00 PM

It's why the veteran left-hander made an early exit from his start against the Blue Jays. The Mariners will reevaluate Millwood in a couple of days before deciding whether he's a go for his next scheduled outing. Wed, Sep 12, 2012 11:06:00 PM

Kevin Millwood limited the Blue Jays to two runs on just two hits and a walk over five innings in Wednesday's 3-2 win.

He struck out three, with an Edwin Encarnacion two-run blast representing the only tallies. Millwood has struggled overall in the second half but has pitched better of late with a 3.78 ERA over his last six starts. He'll get the Orioles next. Wed, Sep 12, 2012 10:37:00 PM

Taylor has been sidelined since March 13 due to surgery to repair a fractured right wrist, so it's a good sign that he's already able to do some baseball activities less than two weeks later. Taylor has yet to swing a bat, a big hurdle he'll have to clear before he can start progressing toward a return. Taylor is expected to miss most of the first month of the season.

The Rangers claimed Olmos off waivers from the Mariners last month, but the claim was voided after he was diagnosed with a left shoulder impingement. The 24-year-old appears likely to begin the year on the DL.
